Abstract:
A method for manufacturing injection openings of a fuel injector, including: manufacturing a prechamber with the aid of a mechanical, cutting method, in particular with the aid of milling or drilling or with the aid of laser ablation, producing a radius at the transition of the prechamber between a prechamber wall and a prechamber base with the aid of a laser, and/or introducing grooves into the prechamber wall and/or the prechamber base, and manufacturing a spray hole in the prechamber base.
Abstract:
A punch for use in molding a workpiece with lubricating oil interposed between the punch and the workpiece includes a straight portion and a diameter-increasing portion. The straight portion includes an end face and a side face. The straight portion extends in an axial direction. The end surface extends in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The side surface is connected to the end surface. The diameter-increasing portion is connected to the straight portion. The diameter-increasing portion includes a width in the radial direction, which is identical to that of the straight portion, at a junction between the straight portion and the diameter-increasing portion. The width of the diameter-increasing portion in the radial direction increases with distance from the straight portion. At least one of the end surface and the side surface of the straight portion is formed with a pit.
Abstract:
A process for producing through-holes in a sheet member to form a perforated article, such as an arcuate (non-planar) acoustic skin suitable for use in an acoustic panel of an aircraft engine nacelle. The process includes deforming a sheet member to have an arcuate shape with an arcuate surface, mounting and rotating the arcuate-shaped sheet member on a mandrel and then, while rotating the sheet member, directing an electron beam at the arcuate surface of the sheet member and deflecting the electron beam toward multiple locations on the arcuate surface to produce the through-holes through the sheet member in a defined hole pattern and thereby yield a perforated arcuate-shaped sheet member with holes having axes substantially normal to the arcuate surface. The holes are not subjected to elongation in a nonuniform manner after they are produced, and have the same transverse cross-sectional shape.
Abstract:
A showerhead is disclosed in this invention. The showerhead includes a bottom plate, a channel plate, and a top plate. The bottom plate includes a plurality of cooling channels and a plurality of gas holes, wherein the gas holes includes at least one first gas hole and at least one second gas hole. The channel plate includes a first trench area and a second trench area, wherein the first gas hole is connected with the first trench area, and the second gas hole is connected with the second trench area. The top plate is coupled to the channel plate.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing flow selector disk for a fluid pressure regulator, including the steps of providing a plate having a first face and a second face, and forming at least one baseline orifice in the plate including a first diameter portion adjacent the first face and a second diameter portion adjacent the second face. The first and second diameter portions are spaced a distance from each other to form an annular ring therebetween. A central flow portion is formed through the baseline orifice that is in fluid communication with both of the first and second diameter portions. The central flow portion has a relatively smaller diameter than either of the first and second diameter portions. The method also includes the step of plastically deforming a portion of the annular ring adjacent the central flow portion to thereby reduce the diameter of the central flow portion.
Abstract:
A fuel injector includes a seat, a movable member cooperating with the seat, and an orifice plate. The orifice plate includes a member and an orifice penetrating the member. The member includes first and second generally parallel surfaces. The first surface generally confronts the valve seat, and the second surface faces opposite the first surface. The orifice is defined by a wall that couples the first and second surfaces. The wall includes a first portion that extends from the first surface and a second portion extending between the first portion and the second surface. The first portion of the wall extends at a first oblique angle with respect to the first surface, and the first oblique angle varies so as to define an asymmetrical chamfer. The second portion of the wall defines a cylinder extending along an axis at a second oblique angle with respect to the second surface.
Abstract:
An asymmetrical tool is provided to form an asymmetric orifice for an orifice disc. The asymmetric orifice is initially formed with a wall portion extending generally perpendicular to first and second generally parallel surfaces of the orifice disc. The wall of the orifice is deformed by the tool into an inlet portion contiguous to the first surface and a transition portion spaced from the first surface. The transition portion of the wall extends substantially perpendicular to the first and second generally planar surfaces. The inlet portion of the wall extends at a first oblique angle with respect to the first surface, and the first oblique angle varying with respect to the longitudinal axis. A method of forming the orifice with the tool is described.

Abstract:
A nozzle for producing an ultrahigh-pressure fluid fan jet is shown and described. In a preferred embodiment, the nozzle has an inner surface defined by a conical bore extending from a first end to a second end, thereby creating an entrance orifice and an exit orifice in the first and second ends, respectively. A wedge-shaped notch extends inward from the second end towards the first end to a sufficient depth such that the shape of the exit orifice is defined by the intersection of the conical bore and the wedge-shaped notch. As pressurized fluid passes through the nozzle and out the exit orifice, the shape of the exit orifice causes the pressurized fluid to exit in the form of a fan jet having a substantially oval cross-section. This fan jet may be swept across a surface to be cleaned thereby selectively removing a layer of material from an underlying surface evenly and completely, without damaging the underlying surface. The fan jet may also be used to cut a fibrous or hard material.
Abstract:
A method of producing a multi-apertured component for providing a predetermined fluid flow includes the steps of dividing the component into regions in which the apertures are to be formed, forming a portion of the apertures in a first region in accordance with assumed parameters, measuring the fluid flow through the apertures and correcting, if necessary, the assumed parameters for the apertures in the first region to provide the fluid flow required through the first region and the assumed parameters for each of the other regions, and completing drilling of the apertures in the first region and in each of the other regions.
